[CENTER]Long before the Civil War. Before the Golden Age.Even before the Prime Dynasty...there were the Lawless Times.An age without rules, where only the strong and the ruthless would thrive.An age where creatures undreamed of walked the scarred, tormented surface of Cybertron.Monsters, giants, celestials, abominations... and Titans.One of them was bound to survive the end of that age of wonders, and cross the eons to the present day. He would come to be known as...METROPLEX!

Starscream has climbed the social ladder, becoming a very popular Cybertronian officer of law: everybody appreciates him, his teammates would die for him, and every corrupted businessmech on Cybertron wants to make deal with him.For Starscream, of course, this is NOT ENOUGH!Witness as Starscreams steps in the path of the Gladiator, and begins to worm his way inside the Underground Movement and the Gladiatorial Arenas...until the day Civil War erupts, and his true nemesis is revealed!

It's the beginning of the Golden Age! Young Starscream is back on Cybertron, as a respected member of the Anti-Technoabuse Law Enforcement Agency. Really? Is he truly standing for the rights of other mechs?Featuring G2 Snipe, Technobot Lightspeed, Aerialbot Skydive, Triggercon Windsweeper and some unexpected G2 foes, this act is more than meets the eye!

It's the very beggining of the Civil War! With Omega Supreme taken out of the equation by a two-pronged assault, the Omega Sentinels cannot rise to defend the Cybertronian Citistates against the overwhelming Decepticon Insurgence!

It's now or never! What is happening to Grimlock? Will the damaged Optimus Prime manage to withstand the fury of Megatron? Will Flash' race be doomed by the hands of Carnivac and Spinister? And what can stop the unstoppable Aerial Extermination Troopers?Everything comes crashing together in the great finale!

Ratbat is back in style, continuing to develop the untold events of The Future is -Ation.With Megatron out of the game, The mind-controlling, energon-sucking diminutive Decepticon is ready to ignite his own plans for the control of Earth...starting with the manipulation of the elite soldiers of an unnamed special forces unit that came to investigate the site of the battle against the Reapers.Is this the return of the Carwash of Doom? (Just kidding!)

The lives of Shockwave and Soundwave take an all different turn, as they fail/succeed to accomplish their main goals. And untold events of Omega Supreme's brush with death are revealed for the first time.

Deemed too unstable to be deployed in battle, the gigantic Metroplex is being confined in an uninhabited solar system, where his trusted team (Scamper, Slammer, Six-Gun) takes care of his huge spaceship alt-mode, performing maintenance, experimenting on fringe cyberinterface technologies...and facing unscheduled threats by a lone Decepticon bounty hunter!

With the Dead Universe defeated, Optimus Prime and the Autobots return to their everyday cold war against the Decepticon... but the crisis is far from over! By using the Magnificence power, Hot Rod started an irreversible universal change: when mechanoids, persons and planets begin to morph into alternate versions of themselves, who will stand up to prevent reality becoming a jumbled chaos that will ultimately self-destruct?

During The War Within, Optimus Prime and Megatron experienced a vision of an impossible "G1" future: in present time, during the events of Escalation, the same vision returns... showing Beast Wars, Beast Machines and even Dai-Atlas!From another reality, Macabre enters this one, facing Hot Rod and exposing the dire consequences of using the cursed Instrument Of Destruction known as the Magnificence.Before reality goes completely bad, losing any internal logic and consistency, will Hot Rod find the strength to use the Matrix Goblet and make the final sacrifice?

The whole Magnificent Saga is now collected in one easy-to-download PDF file, featuring bonus sketch art for Rodimus Prime, and a Secret File revealing a glimpse of Rodimus Prime's future and the origin of the Unity Sceptre .

Astrotrain has made a deal with the devil he knows-- that is, Ratbat! But how does this creepy mechanoid plans to use his Energon-sucking skills to save Megatron from the Mini-Reaper infection that has paralyzed his systems?Find out now, as Differentiation leads to... Separation. Now more than ever, The Future is -Ation!

At the end of Magnificent Crisis, Rodimus Prime entered the universe of Transformers: "Seeds of Deception" comics. The real Rodimus Prime, the Autobot Leader invested by the Matrix.But what inspired this reimagining of the character in War Within/-Ation style? It was the original >G1 counterpart-- a figure as complex and mature as was rarely or never seen in Transformers cartoons, as this article is going to explain.

After his return in Stormbringer II, Galvatron starts enlisting Decepticon warriors for his own private army (starting with the Monstructor Six and Sixshot).In order to salvage a certain planetary item that was stolen from Cybertron by the Quintessons, and hidden on a planet that is well known to Wheelie, Galvatron will probably have to resort to Trypticon's might... even if this means seizing the most defended Decepticon space station in the galaxy, and finding the resources to reformat it!

The Infiltration Protocols have been reinstated! How do you divert the attention of the US Air Force from your own secret Bunker? By staging an assault on one of their bases and pretending you are a Cobra jet squadron, of course.And for the first time ever, Starscream meets his maker: will the Null Ray prove enough to stop Jhiaxus' advance, as he marches on in his plan to rewrite the galaxy in Nemesis Prime's image?

Metroplex has been invaded by the soon-to-be ActionMaster Axer! Will Scamper, Six-Gun, and Slammer (aka the MetroTeam) be able to stop him from stealing the Transmogrification Drive?It's alt-mode galore, as these Transformers reveals their never-seen-before transformations!

After invading Metroplex's spaceship form, bounty hunter Axer has managed to put the MetroTeam out of commission, and seize the Transmogrification Drive.All Axer must do now is leave-- but will he survive the surprise of a Fantastic Voyage among the wonders of Metroplex's incredibly-vast structure?

As the conspiracy weaved by the Underground Movement grows, Trannis and his allies Shockwave and Soundwave focus their effort on exterminating the leaders of the peaceful society that rules Cybertron-- Sentinel Prime and Omega Supreme!When the last moon falls, and the daylight of the Golden Age is replaced by a dark and fateful night, the Decepticons are born, and Megatron rises. The mystery of the Gladiator and Trannis is finally solved-- spelling doom for the whole planet.The Civil War has begun!

The Civil War has begun!Jetfire must witness the fall of Omega Supreme, ravaged by a CerebroShell, while Grimlock stands before the honor-less slaughter of weak mechanoids-- shall they remain in the Decepticon army, or join its opposite number? And what consequences will that bring?It's the end of an era and the beginning of another one, seen through the twin eyes of the scientist and the warrior!

Crashlanded on Cybertron while escaping from the merciless conquering army of Nova Prime and Jhiaxus, the Lunars of Moon Beta found themselves in the toxic environment of the Junklands-- a place turned into a poisonous nightmare by millennia of reckless disposal of industrial waste.Able to adapt, the Lunars absorbed all sort of junk, transforming their bodies into forms that could withstand that harsh environment-- and they became the Junkions.Among the piles of garbage of the Junklands, a special section was reserved to Jhiaxus' failed experiments-- such as the corpses of the Cybertronians turned into females.One day the Junkions realized that one of those corpses was not a corpse at all: it took a long time, but they were able to salvage, fix and heal the latest victim of Jhiaxus' perversions.And when she finally came back online, fully restored, Arcee's quest for revenge and identity began!

Although Bruticus was never featured in the Transformers: War Within books, the Gestalts were already a reality for groups such as the Constructicons and the Protectobots. And with four Combaticons whose Cybertronian alt-modes had already appeared in the series, a model sheet for Bruticus was bound to appear sooner or later.
